Hot Buttered Popcorn Bread is a unique twist on your traditional bread recipes, combining the flavors of popcorn with a buttery bread dough. This recipe is perfect for snacking on during movie nights or as a fun activity for kids to get involved in making. The crispy popcorn pieces inside the bread dough create a satisfying crunch, while the soft, pillowy texture of the bread is perfect for soaking up flavors. Hot Buttered Popcorn Bread is not the healthiest option due to its high sugar and fat content, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
2.Pop the popcorn and set aside.
3.In a large mixing bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until yeast has activated and mixture is frothy.

5.Mix in the popcorn until it is evenly distributed.
6.Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until the dough is no longer sticky and can be kneaded.
7.Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
8.Place the dough in the greased baking dish, cover with a tea towel, and let rise in a warm, draft-free area for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
9.Brush the melted butter over the top of the risen dough, and sprinkle with a pinch each of sugar, salt, and cornmeal.
10.Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bread is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.
11.Let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
